Vedic Conclusion - What are the qualifications of an authentic Guru?

In Vedic civilization the Guru is worshiped as good as God. This is a very appealing opportunity for anyone who may want to take advantage of the innocent general public. Dr. Deepak Seth, the chairman of our society, Bhagavat Dharma Samaj, requested me to write a book on how to recognize a real Guru. For this reason we decided to write this book for the innocent people to use as an eye opener to distinguish who should be worshiped as good as God. We decided to name the book Guru Nirnaya Dipika, or THE SCRIPTURAL DECISION ON WHO CAN BECOME GURU AND WHO CANNOT.

Just as there is some sort of vetting/reference check system in material life, the same process holds true for authentic spiritual life. It is called

Guru Nirnaya Dipika.

For those interested, Swamiji's response to the Guru Rebuttal is also available (the Guru Rebuttal was a debate quite a few years ago about Guru Nirnaya Dipika between the secretary of Bhagavat Dharma Samaj and some people in opposition to the Guru Nirnaya Dipika).

MY MISSION 10-12

"The Lord is hungry for the feelings of His devotees. He isn’t concerned with their offerings, but cares about the attitude they have while making offerings. If the devotee’s Spiritual Master is authorized by the ancient scriptures, the disciple is connected to the Lord and thus the Lord seated as Supersoul in their heart helps the devotee develop the right spiritual attitude..." - - READ MORE
